In case you haven’t noticed, our area has been making headlines
lately thanks to a slew of national events taking place in
our great city. You could say it began last year during the World
Meeting of Families with Pope Francis or when Philly played
host to the 2016 Democratic National Convention at the
Wells Fargo Center.

Then again, just last month, there was the 2017 NFL Draft,
which took over the Philadelphia Museum of Art steps, and this
Memorial Day weekend’s inaugural HoagieNation Festival spearheaded
by our very own music legends, Hall & Oates. Looking
ahead, there’s also the Roots Picnic in June and the sixth iteration
of the Made in America Festival in September, bringing in
some of music’s most notable artists.

Yet, you could also argue that we’ve always been making headlines
long before these national events took place in our city. If
anything, they just gave us a spotlight to showcase what the
Greater Philadelphia Area has to offer, just like we do in these
very pages.

Whether it’s locals supporting Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation
by attending The Great Chefs Event, which in turn,
inspired the rest of the county to follow suit, or a Broadway star
returning to her hometown in N.J. to perform her award-winning
musical for the Philly area, there’s a lot of newsmakers in our midst.
So go ahead, flip through and see who else has been making headlines.
